Best Time to Raft

The rafting season on the Fraser River near Valemount runs from June through September. Early season trips in June and July feature higher water levels from snowmelt, producing bigger rapids and a more thrilling ride. Late summer trips in August and September offer warmer water temperatures and a more relaxed experience, with the added bonus of potentially spotting salmon during the spawning run. Water temperatures are always cool, so wetsuits are provided regardless of the season. The surrounding mountain scenery is spectacular throughout the summer, with lush forests, towering peaks, and abundant wildlife along the riverbanks.
